The Big Dance

No not like dancing tango or foxtrot but the NCAA basketball madness begins on this week promising more memorable moments and few heartbreaks but always excitement. I was very surprised to see the Big East get three number ones (including Louisville as the overall #1) Personally (and I'm a UCONN fan) I didn't think CT was deserving of a one- albeit until everyone else in mention lost before the finals of their own conference- Sorry Memphis- I had you as a one; suggestion: play a better Non-Con schedule next year; and don't lose to G'town when they were just awful. Speaking of awful; I think the Big 10 is just awful- and if you watched the game Sunday like I did you saw why. The SEC was even worse, with the final TEN SECONDS of the game including: a 5 sec violation, another guy running out of bounds, an inbounds pass then thrown away (The clock not running off time for either of these plays as the clock operator was sleeping on the job) Honestly the last time down for TN, there should have been a s SECOND 5 sec violation- I think the refs let it slide because they might have felt bad. It was a brutal to watch game.

Anyway despite my loyalty to the huskies I think the Louisville is clearly the cream of the crop at this point, and I could see 4 Big East in the Final Four, I like UCONN there, I think Pitt has a very easy trip to the finals, and the South bracket will be the buster- I don't think there is any team significantly better than the other. I would think the Syracuse/Oklahoma winner will come out of there.
